Agenda Items Submitted by Boon Ming Goh

Agenda Submitted for Discussion at the Singapore Ice Hockey Association (“SIHA”) Annual General Meeting to be held on 21 April 2018 at 5.30pm at Chili’s, Clarke Quay Central (the “Meeting”) 1. Pursuant to Article 7.10 of the “Constitution of Singapore Ice Hockey Association” (the “Constitution”), I hereby give notice of the following items which I would like placed on the agenda for discussion at the said Meeting. 2. That the decision on or about November 2017 taken by the Development Director (Youth) to dissolve the Singapore Youth National Team is:- (a) unconstitutional; (b) contravenes Articles 3.1 of the Constitution; and (c) runs counter to the spirit, the ethos and the raison d’etre of SIHA. 3. That the said decision mentioned in paragraph 2 above shall hereby be reversed. 4. Pursuant to Article 14 of the Constitution, I hereby move for Article 3.1 of the Constitution to be amended by adding a new Article 3.1(d) “To encourage, promote, develop and manage ice hockey at National and International levels and to participate in or arrange for international and other matches and to select teams to represent Singapore.” 5. That Article 9.10 of the Constitution has been contravened by:-(a) the Development Director (Youth) in exercising sole and absolute discretion in deciding if youth players can participate in SIHA’s 2017 NIHL (Winter Edition) and in the 2018 NIHL (Summer Edition); and(b) the failure to form an Athlete Selection Committee when considering if youth players are allowed to participate in SIHA’s NIHL. 6. That an Athlete Selection Committee pursuant to Article 9.10 of the Constitution be formed to decide if youth players can participate in SIHA’s NIHL. 7. Pursuant to Article 9.8 of the Constitution, a Special Committee called the National Teams Committee (hereinafter referred to as “NTC”) consisting of the (i) Development Director (Men); (ii) the Development Director (Women); and (iii) the Development Director (Youth) shall be set up. The administration of the Singapore National Teams shall be entrusted to the NTC, who shall meet at least once every 3 months to manage, plan and implement any programs and/or initiatives as they deem necessary for the development of the National Teams of Singapore (including without limitation, passing Bye-Laws and setting policies and/or guidelines for the implementation of such programs and/or initiatives). The NTC shall also set up an Athlete Selection Committee in accordance with Article 9.10 of the Constitution and set clear guidelines and polices in relation to the selection of national athletes and where necessary, pass Bye-Laws in relation

• thereto. The NTC may not act contrary to the expressed wishes of the General Meeting without prior reference to it and always remains subordinate to the General

Meetings.

8. Pursuant to Article 9.8 of the Constitution, the Committee shall forthwith appoint a Special Committee called a Review Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “RC”) comprising of three (3) or more members, at least one (1) of whom must be a Committee Member. The Chairman of this RC shall be a Committee

• Member. The RC shall:- (i) review the present organizational structure of SIHA; (ii) propose ways to improve corporate governance and communications

across all programs; and (iii) consider the feasibility of utilizing separate or related entities, associations or clubs being members of SIHA (pursuant to Article 4.2 of the Constitution) to manage and run some of SIHA’s programs, so that the Committee can be more effective in ensuring compliance with the Constitution, the Charities Act and such other laws and regulations which SIHA is subject to. The RC shall table their findings in the agenda for discussion at the next General Meeting. 9. Pursuant to Article 14 of the Constitution, I hereby move for the following Article numbered as a new Article 8.11 be added into the Constitution: “8.11The Committee shall have power to make Bye-Laws for the regulation of the Association’s affairs in accordance with the Constitution and for the conduct and management of the Association. Such Bye-Laws shall come into effect and be binding upon all members upon a date stated, such a date being not less than seven (7) days after the same shall have been posted on the Association’s notice board or website. A copy of any new or amended Bye-Laws shall also be sent to all members by way of electronic mail as soon as practicable after posting the same on the notice board or website. The Committee may suspend the

• peration of any of the Bye-laws upon such certain occasions and upon such terms and conditions as they consider, by prior notification by way of electronic

mail to all members, circular letter or other means deemed suitable.”
